1/6 SUPERMAD TOYS, the old detective 2049

[Artoo]

Shouldn't this figure really have its own thread by now?

It did at one time along with the Blackbox version, but they were both deleted and this one became the sole survivor so everything got jammed into here a few years back. Surprised this thread is still around after SSF decided to delete the customs section and unlicensed product threads.

Even after complying with Sideshows requests they got their affiliation link revoked anyway. So this thread survived, cause at that point it went kinda Wild West on 3rd party discussion.

If the SS affiliate was revoked , who cares anymore..

Coat looks pretty good there, although I wish the padding on the shoulders was a bit more prominent and puffed out. It was a cool design element that seems to be barely visible on this.

Cool am liking the closed cot look as well. Very sci-fi.

To be honest I'd never noticed the shoulders until you pointed it out now. I guess you could put some padding under the shoulders to make them a bit more prominent......or they haven't done that yet like the collar fur

There does not appear to be any shoulder pads on that coat yet......hopefully that is still a work in progress!

This is what they did for their prototype:




The partly finished coats appear to already have those pieces sewn on:

They just don't look very padded....

New pics

No one seems to have mentioned that with these new pics they also said that they have wire in the coat and magnets (probably in the collar) to achieve the same look in the film. This is excellent !!

Early June shipments to start......apparantly.

But either way we must be getting damn close. Also nice features on the coat to take it to the next level.

They are based in china though right? I bought a figure from China last week, and as the air mail service is still out of action, the delivery time to UK is estimated at 2-3 months. 3 months seems about right based on other things have bought from China since the epidemic kicked in.

Guess it will be at least September before I see this figure even if it does ship in June.

I had a SpeedPAK parcel from KG Hobby (the equivalent of regular airmail, but supposedly only for Ebay use) picked up in Hong Kong on 29th May which arrived in London on 4th June. That's within the usual SpeedPAK estimate.

The problem isn't with the airmail now, but with the backlog of parcels arriving and waiting to go through customs - due to social distancing and reduced staff due to the virus.

Now it's a case of waiting until they reach the parcel to process it. Reading other peoples' experiences it could be up to a month.

I did have a small parcel from France which I'd ordered on 25th May, and was delivered to me 30th May. Since we're technically still in the EU at the moment maybe that sped the process up?

Yes apparently there is a big difference with shipping from mainland China vs Hong Kong. I had heard normal fast shipping was stopped from HK. But yes, agree wherever you go there will be delays.

I had a good year with figures , bought quite a few, found some grails at good prices, but after all that, I still think this figure is my most anticipated.......

Getting the SSC Freddy was the highlight before this.

The wording was a little confusing on their recent Facebook post but i think they were implying first shipments begin June 20th?

 

[ZedBelkon]

Here is the latest facebook post.......

I imagine the block is the painted headsculpts, we have you to see a production sample only the paint tests. In his defense though, 2 weeks from his original(latest) estimate isn't bad and so far everything I've seen looks very promising for the price!

A June release without even a final sculpt?? Well is supermadtoys , I don't expect anything anymore

I expect it'll be more like mid to late July before I receive him from KG.

Yeah good point. Was that about the time for previous Supermad releases ?

I'm just so used to the 2-3 month timespan for Hot Toys.

Take all the time you need SuperMad.....

Let make this one as good as Steve ...
